Thanks for all the interest - but now gone to a good home

It's been a while since I posted here - and here's why !

Free to a good home.

what's left of my 1993 BMW K1100LT

Frame, engine, gearbox and final drive with new(ish) clutch.

No fairing, w ...

Last Autumn I decided to break my K1100LT - some people here took some of the parts.

I stopped listing bits on eBay over the Winter and I'm just about to restart selling to get rid of what remain ...

For a selection of reasons, I've decided to break my K1100LT

Although you'll find bits on eBay I thought I'd post here in case there's anyone out there (in the UK) looking for a set of RS wheels fo ...

Brilliant - I wondered if the answer was that it was straightforward enough not to need a detailed "How To"

Now all I need to find out is how the new UK MOT (annual roadworthiness test I ...

Hi guys - it's bee a while since I posted.

Given how much is written about problems with early ABS - and the weight saving of removing it, I thought that a "how to" would be readily avai ...

Ted,

I don't deny that it's up for the job (And I'm an "ubercommuter" search me on YouTube and you can find a video of me in London traffic - on my last GP800, also a bit big for commutin ...

Circumstances are funny things – what is right one day can be completely wrong the next !

For years I worked from home with 2 commuter bikes – almost as soon as I made the decision to trade the ...

Guys,

In an earlier thread on this site I found a reference to the wiring for the gauge - a single wire from the sensor to the gauge which has a connection somewhere under the tank.

My gauge ha ...

Thanks guys

I think I'll leave it and apply silicone - good call Scott.

A bit of research shows that there's two types and the changeover point is mid '93 so that's another complication.

Is replacing the rear sensor a simple substitution (1993 LT) ?

Or is there some adjustment/clearance that needs to be set - and is any kind of electronic reset required.

My ABS initialises a ...

Thanks - I also had a reply on the UK BMW Club posting.

It was (is) the front switch - I have disconnected it for now to get me working brake lights through next week.

I will work on it ...

My brake light is stuck on !

I had assumed it was the same problem as the R1100RS so I've cleaned up the rear switch contacts with no joy

Guys,

Just back from my holiday (vacation) and time to get back to the job of fettling my new (to me) K1100LT to make it "just right"

I'll leave seats (custom lowered) and screen for t ...

Yup, if I was on your side of the pond the Parabellum would be my choice.

Unfortunately, shipping makes it a little expensive over here (unless anyone knows of a UK/Euro supplier).

I think I'm l ...

After a couple of weeks on the LT I have concluded that I do need a slightly taller screen - and for reasons of economy I am wavering over the one supplied by Motorworks and the Secdem supplied by Mot ...

Tim,

Thanks - I'm now most of the way there.

The rubbers were perished and sitting behind the plate. This explains the excessive play in my handlebars - and presumably why adding washers didn't ...

Just a thought.

In "stock" trim, is the rubber sleeve (part 4) supposed to sit behind the bracket (part 17) or pass through it ?

Tim - Thanks, clear and comprehensive

Rich - Yes, that was the instruction set I was using

Keith - I might try that first.

cheers
